African head’s cloak looking rather on the bright side? (4,2,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
cape of good hope
'african head's' is the definition.
(head or promontory in South Africa)
'cloak looking rather on the bright side?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cloak' could be 'cape' (cape is a kind of cloak) and 'cape' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for cape of good hope that I've seen before include "Land's End?" , "head" , "Promising cover" .)
